Showing places for "Hawker/Kopitiam"

Classic zhi-char restaurant, easy recommendation Scrumptious zhi-char stall that makes you want to come back again. We ordered the salted egg prawns, sweet and sour pork, and black pepper beef. All of these dishes surpassed expectations as they were all very well cooked and served quickly. The staff also worked very fast to get us a table and our orders. I highly recommend this place, especially for larger groups as they have plenty of tables to accommodate.

Comfort food on a hot day Great to enjoy delicious Taiwan porridge with claypot brinjal, salted fish minced meat, oyster egg and tender black pepper beef !

Zi char style Had a super comforting zichar-style meal with porridge — simple, homely dishes that hit all the right spots. Here’s a quick take on each one: Prawn paste pork – crispy, juicy, and full of umami. Solid flavour punch. Omelette with cai poh – fragrant, savoury, and nicely textured with radish bits. Tieban tofu – soft and comforting with a rich, savoury sauce. Sambal lala – spicy, fragrant, and fresh. Sambal really shiok. Stir-fried cabbage – light, crunchy, and slightly sweet. Balances the meal well. Porridge – smooth and plain, perfect for pairing with all the bold flavours.

Gyoza It wasn’t freshly fried but it was good enough to taste the ingredients. Not too bad - $6.30.

Great food in this hawker! [MATTAR, SINGAPORE] Don't remember the Circuit Road Hawker Centre being so crowded at night, but there were so many dishes I wanted to try 😍 among all of them we had 3 that caught our eye: The Fried Prawn Mee from Tian Seng was like a roller coaster ride; I was shocked & disappointed at the start when I saw that the bigger $5 portion was so small... But once I tried it I fell in love 😍 the umami prawn & garlic flavour was so intense, and the noodles were cooked just right! Although the wok hei might be slightly lacking, but such intense prawn flavour is really hard to find. This might be one of my top 5! I've had oyster omelette ($5) from Ghim Guan quite a few times, and the standard remains high. This rendition is wetter than others, but rich in flavours. I love how eggy this whole dish tastes and that the oysters were plump and juicy! Lastly, the Claypot Chicken Rice ($7) from Nanxing was just decent, felt like there was nothing much to say about the rice. The chicken was very tender and fresh though! Such a nice place for dinner, with quite a huge variety of stalls to choose from! I think this is a lesser known hawker which you should try visiting 😍

Kaya Butter Toast & Black Coffee From J & T Kopi Roti Crispy Toast filled with kaya & butter. Fresh brewed black kopi. Chilled.

#01-28: 28 BBQ Sambal Stingray @$12/$15 28 BBQ serves up fresh Sambal Bbq Stingray. Meat is fresh and tender, slides off the bone easily and not over-cooked at all. Sambal was damn shiok and was not too overly- spicy. Have ate this a few times and dapao back also. Always consistently good.

Thai Wanton Mee The latest of their revolving door of stalls. I guess what makes this Thai is the "white" seasoning and the pinch of crabmeat. It's an underwhelming meal. Although Thai wanton mee is "white", it's supposed to still be flavourful - this was bland.

小锅米线 The latest addition at this hipster kopitiam. It has quite a wide menu of noodles but this seems to be the OG. The spice was just right for me, which I appreciate. Topped with minced meat, beancurd skin and chives. Mixian is so enjoyable.

D24 Durian Ice Chanced upon this new stall named 冰多多 (Bing Duo Duo) within The Coffee Shop by Yaowarat just a stone’s throw away from Kovan MRT Station — the same coffeeshop also houses The Breakfast Club and Ng Kuan Chili Pan Mee. Being the sole dessert stall operator in the coffeeshop, 冰多多 specialises in shaved ice, though also serves up hot desserts such as their Red Bean Soup with Mini Tang Yuan and Cheng Teng. Amongst the few flavours of shaved ice that 冰多多 has to offer, the D24 Durian variant stood out to me the most — probably since I am much of a durian lover anyway. The composition of the shaved ice dessert here is relatively simple; comprises of shaved ice, condensed milk, chewy translucent balls and a scoop of D24 Durian flesh — patrons can choose to go for additional scoops at a further top-up. Thought that the shaved ice here did come in a relatively consistent texture; not as fine as we had wanted to be, but it is still relatively decent. Much of the shaved ice is flavoured purely by the condensed milk drenched over it for some hint of sweetness that was thankfully not overly sweet, while the durian flesh carries that fibrous texture with a pungent note of the King of Fruits — though we found that the sole durian element wasn’t particularly integral with the entire dish; perhaps an inclusion of a durian-infused cream over the use of condensed milk may further elevate the overall feel of the dish being a durian-based dessert. The chewy, translucent balls did what was exactly expected — provides for a variance of texture to the shaved ice dessert. While the entire dessert did feel rather pleasant without being overly sweet, we did feel that the D24 Durian Ice fell a little short — almost akin to that of a slightly higher priced Ice Kachang with lesser ingredients included; a little pricey at $6.80. It may be possible that it is probably their concept to serve shaved ice in this format (something which I also respect; especially given how I don’t usually enjoy the condiments that come standard in Ice Kachang), it is also difficult not to think how there are other options around such as within the Kovan 209 Market & Food Centre, as well as Sweet Thoughts by M.O.D at the nearby J Forte Sportainment Centre for shaved ice desserts, whilst not forgetting the other dessert options such as The Humble Scoop, Sugartree Gelato, Lola’s Cafe, Naked Ice Cream and Ice Edge Cafe in the immediate area. It will be interesting to see how 冰多多 will be able to adapt and improve their recipes and fare in the long run on what they have to offer …

Spicy Fragrant Grilled Fish set (香辣烤鱼) | $10.80 What The Fish: https://www.whatthefish.com.sg/deals Spicy Fragrant Limbo Fish - Half Fish with Tail set + Pearl Rice 🍚 (No additional toppings selected) Flavour selection 4: Spicy Fragrant (herbs and broad-bean paste)

Pork Leg Rice ($6.90) & Prawn Cake ($5.40) Don’t keep this for more than 4 hours in the takeaway box or the rice will start to sour alittle. Hard lesson learnt. The prawn cakes were not bad but the sauce can get alittle salty if eaten on its own.

I spy with my eye what others were eating. This was a common sight at many tables. I could see many elderlies enjoying it. Ok.. it is a sign. 🔸️🔸️ The history of Jia Xiang goes way back 50 years. Mdm Chen, the 63 year old owner, started helping her mom when she was very little. And they have been at the same location for half a century. 🔸️🔸️ The taste is quite old school. Gravy was brewed for at least 3 hours, is thick with a robust spiced undertone. A wonderful tangy and slight sourish finish. Garnished with tau pok, a hard boiled egg and very crispy croutons which tasted like pork lard. The homemade sambal chilli had a haebeehiam and dried chilli base that added the extra punch. The bright fiery orange appearance might scare some away. But it was not overly spicy. It was addictively good. 🔸️🔸️ I did like it. It was an appropriate spicy meal to counter the scorching day. So are you old school or new school? For me, old school is the new school. #meesiam #oldschool #heritagefoods #sgig #hungrygowhere #burpple #igers #8dayseat #instagood #instafoodsg #photooftheday #photographers #bloggers #foodphotography #nomnom #bestfoodphoto #singaporeinsiders #tagsforlikes #tastesocietysg #thefoodjournalsg #asianfoodporn #madaboutsingapore2018 #sgfood

Steam Pork Ribs From Xiao Chen Handmade Bao Dian 蒸排骨 For $2.20 per portion, well seasoned steamed pork ribs. Not bad indeed.

Steamed Dimsum Xiao Chen handmade bao dian's classic siew mai, prawn tail dumpling, and crab claw dumpling offer a delightful experience at an affordable price of $2.20 per bamboo basket. The classic siew mai is flavourful with a well-balanced mix of pork and shrimp, while the prawn tail dumplings are fresh and succulent. The crab claw dumplings stand out with their rich taste and tender texture. Overall, it's a satisfying treat for dim sum lovers seeking quality without breaking the bank. The cup of hot brew tea is $1.40

Dim Sum Affordable and good. Not the best dim sum, but for this price, I will eat this very often. I would say the har gao & siew mai were the main highlights. The steam pork is good, but felt I didn't eat much meat. Overall taste, A good solid 7.5/10

01-37 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wanton Noodle This is probably another stall in Marsiling that sell good wanton noodle, starting from $3.50. Xiang Yuan’s noodle was chewy and the char siew got the smoky taste.

Chin Heng Since 1962 Pork Rib Noodle This is so nice to eat. The bak ku Teh taste light, I ordered a $4 version and asking for add ingredients only, no need to add noodle. It was so full til I skip my lunch. The q is sooooo long, waited abt half an hour then only my turn, but the food is good.

Beef rendang, curry ckn, cuttlefish, sambal goreng 10,5nett Mee rebus is sold out at 11am on a weekday, quite ridiculous Beef was tough Curry ckn was alright, the sauce was good but not mind-blowing Cuttlefish was abit tough and quite spicy Sambal goreng was surprisingly quite mild Overall it's alright, worth a try if you're in the area. Also thr queue gets crazy so only if you avoid peak hours(before 11)

Spicy Pork Belly This is almost the same thing as the spicy chicken at their kway chap brand. Very deep and fragrant. A lot of effort.

Premium Loin Rib Soup Aka dragon rib. I've eaten enough bak kut teh to know not to order the basic ribs. But disappointingly, parts of this dragon rib weren't tender. Still big though.

satisfied my bkt cravings had the PRIME SPARE RIBS SOUP ($9.70) & CAI XIN ($4.50) with MEE SUA ($2.90)
